Bible Question: Can we identify the "creature" in this verse? |
Bible Answer: Hi Mommapbs, Strong's #2937 and #2936 gives the understanding that they served the "act or the product" rather than the "Creator". It would be like worshiping the pottery instead of the Potter. It would be like worshiping the building instead of the One who built it. It would be like worshiping the man instead of the Man. It would be like worshiping the thing born to Mary instead of the recognizing the power of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 1:20, "...Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for that which has been conceived [Lit. begotten] in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 And she will bear a Son, and you shall call His/ name Jesus, for it is He who will save (His) people from their sins." John 10:14, "...and I/ know My own, and My own know (Me)." Romans 1:21, "For even though they knew God/, they did not honor Him as God, or give thanks; but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible (God) for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures." Colossians 1:14, "in whom [Him]/ we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. 15 He is the image of the invisible (God), the firstborn over all creation." See NKJ. The slashes and parentheses are mine for comparisons. From the heart, Ray |
